The ironies of life....

Why is it that often times those who have little are the ones who offer to give more? Why are the handicapped more content with their body than the normal people? Why do poor people get to smile more often, don't they have more problems? WE fear dying and get too careful with our lives that we end up not living it, don't we all die anyway? There are so many contradictory things in this life that really puzzles me, do you have any other irony to share?

Those who look for the love of life only see the hardships of it.

For those who have love of life don't realize they are in the hardships of it.

Perhaps it is facing the difficulty that teaches life. Most of us without challenges never experienced the lesson, and so we go about fussing and fretting about the silly little stuff.

Your right there, can you add another irony that you have observed in this life?

There are so many little things in life that happen that don't seem right. e can't control what happens in life. We can not change any ironies. All we can do is the best we can with what we have.

I think the biggest irony of life is life is full of meaning, yet never seems to make any sense. There are just a lot of things in life that we never would understand. Perhaps it is because we were never meant to understand them. As we go through life and think about everything that we need to do, we realize that life is just going to one thing after another. I think years ago, I just shrugged my shoulders and went with the punches. I just rolled with whatever life would have brought me. I think that is the only way to fully get through life sometimes. I know that there are just going to be thinks that defy all conventional logic and wisdom. To be honest, I just roll with it and whatever happens, happens.

The controversies in life exercise people's own disguises and feelings for certain things. Perhaps the reasons are the size of the people's heart and their outlook on life. You know what I'm saying

Ive also had this same thought before. I had this thought when I was in Costa Rica and saw how people appreciated the smaller things in life. I noticed how people that lived in shacks looked happier than the people driving luxury cars here. I think that by not attaching yourself to material things you learn to appreciate the basics like being able to live another day. Like they say "more money , more problems". People are influenced by the media, it brands itself into they're subconscious mind, and inject fear. The world is big ball of irony. One ironic thing which I always notice is, how certain parts of the world is dying of obesity and the other of hunger. The extremities of this just get more severe. Overall I think humans are just greedy by nature. Some more than others, But it just takes a couple to make a difference.

One that always bothers me is why do the good die first or early? I never could understand why good people get into the accidents and have the bad things happen to them? They say good people die young. I always thought that was weird. I think poor people and those that have less are more aware of the need and are more apt to give.
